Orphans

I wanna know when I can go

Back and get drunk with my friends?

Rosaleem of the Damascene

Yes, she had eyes like the moon

Would have been on the silver screen

But for the missile monsoon

She went (Woo-woo, woo-woo-ooh)

Indigo up in heaven today (Woo-woo, woo-woo-ooh)

Bombs going boom, b-b-boom

She say, "I wanna know when I can go

Back and get drunk with my friends?

I wanna know when I can go

Back and be young again?"

Baba would go where the flowers grow

Almond and peach trees in bloom

And he would know just when and what to sow

So golden and opportune

And he went (Woo-woo, woo-woo-ooh)

Tulips the colour of honey today (Woo-woo, woo-woo-ooh)

Bombs going boom, b-b-boom

He say, "Oh, I wanna know when I can go?

Back and get drunk with my friends?

I wanna know when I can go

Back and be young again?"

Cherubim, Seraphim soon

Come sailing us home by the light of the moon

Oh, I wanna know when I can go?

Back and get drunk with my friends?

I wanna know when I can go

Back and feel home again?

(Woo-woo, woo-woo-ooh) I guess we'll be raised on our own then

(Woo-woo, woo-woo-ooh) I wanna be with you till the world ends

I wanna be with you till the whole world ends
